Republican nominee hopeful Donald Trump has the official blessing of Tea Party sweetheart Sarah Palin.
Palin joined Trump on stage at a rally in Iowa Tuesday evening to show her support.
“When I heard that she was going to endorse me, I was so honoured,” Trump said, as he introduced Palin to the stage.

“Are you ready to make America great again?” Palin asked the crowd.
Palin said she was “stirring it up a little” in lending her support “To the next president.”

“His power, his passion, is the fabric of America,” said Palin.
The endorsement comes just 12 days before the critical Iowa caucus, where Trump is in a dead heat with Sen. Ted Cruz.

The former Alaska governor has some experience running for the White House — she was pegged as presidential candidate John McCain’s VP in the 2008 election.
Also like Trump, Palin has been a reality TV star, appearing in Sarah Palin’s Alaska and Amazing America with Sarah Palin.
Trump and his tagline “You’re fired” got huge ratings on The Apprentice and spin-off Celebrity Apprentice.
More to come.
